Financing for Veterans

Thank you for your service!  Stanford Capital would be honored to serve you!

 

VA Loans.

​The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guarantees loans provided by Stanford Capital to help qualified veterans, reservists, and active-duty service members finance their homes. 

VA loans offer these features:

  • A no down payment option.

  • Flexible income, debt and credit requirements to help borrowers qualify.

  • Down payment and closing costs that may be funded by a gift, grant or secured loan.

  • A variety of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan options from Florida Home Finance Group.

 

VA IRRRL Refinance.

A VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) will lower the interest rate on your existing VA home loan, decreasing your monthly mortgage payment.  

IRRRL Facts:

  • No appraisal or credit underwriting package is required when applying for an IRRRL.

  • An IRRRL may be done with no money out of pocket.

  • When refinancing from an existing VA ARM loan to a fixed rate loan, the interest rate may increase.

  • You may NOT receive any cash from the loan proceeds.

Eligibility:
An IRRRL can only be made to refinance a property on which you have already used your VA loan eligibility. It must be a VA to VA refinance, and it will reuse the entitlement you originally used.

  • A Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is not required. If you have your Certificate of Eligibility, take it to the lender to show the prior use of your entitlement.

  • No loan other than the existing VA loan may be paid from the proceeds of an IRRRL. If you have a second mortgage, the holder must agree to subordinate that lien so that your new VA loan will be a first mortgage.

  • You may have used your entitlement by obtaining a VA loan when you bought your house, or by substituting your eligibility for that of the seller, if you assumed the loan.

​VA Funding Fee:
​You do not have to pay the fee if you are:

  • Veteran receiving VA compensation for a service-connected disability.

  • Veteran who would be entitled to receive compensation for a service-connected disability if you did not receive retirement or active duty pay, OR

  • Surviving spouse of a Veteran who died in service or from a service-connected disability.
